can some people please tell me their experiences of being induced and if you needed the epidural - was a suction device needed to assist with bringing baby out?

I've just been given alot to think about and am after personal experiences. I have been told by my OB that epidurals are more necessary for some woman as it's more painful being induced and that an epidural can sometimes cause you to br more exhausted or your muscles to relax and a suction device to be needed to help assist baby out - which I am terrified of!

Thankyou in advance!
